Wedding Card

Happy Friday to all my Crafty Friends!!

I have a Wedding Card to share with you today.
A friend of the family got married a
few weeks ago and here is the
card I made for the happy couple.

I used the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons
Layered Labels 2 Cutting files
for the base and layer of my card.
I embossed the 2nd layer with
the Cuttlebug Divne Swirls Folder.
The top layer was cut with DCWV
Embossed Paper Stack and
I added some ink to highlight
some of the words.
The Wedding Couple was cut
using the Kate's Silhouettes SVG Collection
from SVG Cuts.  This Collection
has so many figures in it!!
I welded the bride and groom together
and then added a shadow
using the Welding feature on
my Silhouette Caemo.

I embossed the brides dress using the

Sizziz Swirly Vines Folder and

added some Stardut Stickles Glitter Glue

to add some sparkle.  I also gave her

a veil using Glitter Tulle.

The banner was cut using the

Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons

Sentiment Spots 1 cutting file.

The sentiment is from

Pink by Design

"Here Some the Bride"

stamp set.

I added lots of ink and bling swirls

from Recollections and finished

it off with a bow made with more Glitter Tulle!!

WARNING!!!

This is going to be a very picture heavy post!!

First off, I want to thank everyone for

wishing my Sweet Pea a Happy Birthday!!

Here is a funny picture of her not

looking too happy to share her birthday

cake with her sister Jasmine!!

So, on to my cards.  I recently purchased a great

little card kit from Archiver's Annex.

It came with the Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint

stamps that I have seen elsewhere for $20.00

for the stamps alone.  The card kit was $20.00

and it included the stamps, some cardstock,

tags, a bottle of Stickles, a 6x6 MME paper

pack and a roll of Jute string!!

What a great deal!!  Here is the set of cards I made.

In all these pictures is is hard to see the card base,

but I cut them all at 4x4 from the brown cardstock

that was included in the kit.  The pattern papers

are from the paper pack included as well as

my scrap box.  I used a variety of products on

all the cards, I will list them at the bottom.

 On this card I used Twine &

Turquoise and Lime Green Stickles

 

  On this card I used the Jute String, 

Want 2 Scrap Bling &

Magenta and Cherry Ice Stickles

For this card I used Glitter Tulle, Want 2 Scrap

Bling and Lagoon Stickles

These next two cards are the first ones I made

and they do not include and dry embossing.

I used Webster's Pages Trim, Recollections

Bling and Yellow Stickles on this one.

I loved the butterfly so much, I used it twice!!

This card has sheer ribbon, Recollentions Bling

and Lime Green Stickles

Materials:

Tim Holtz Easter Blueprint Stamps

Various Spellbinders Dies

Various colors of

Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Various Sizzix and

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

All cards but one, have a tag cut with My Craft Spot's

Tiny Tag Dies and are stamped with sentiments

from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

The tags were embossed with Zing

clear embossing powder.

Ok, on to my project for today :)

I made two cards for the

Peachy Keen Anything Goes Challenge

and

My Craft Spot - Sweet Baby Challenge

 

I made identical baby boy and baby girl cards.

 

 

I started with a sheet of kraft cardstock that I cut

in half to make my 2 A2 sized cards.

The pattern paper is from a 6x6

My Mind's Eye paper pack called

Sweetest Thing.

The next layer is a Spellbinders Label 11.

I've embossed it using a Sizzix

folder called Phrase, Baby.

My sweet babies are a combination.

The bodies are cut at 3" from Baby Steps.

The head and faces are from

Peachy Keen's March SOTM.

I have inked everthing up with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen,

Broken China and Worn Lipstick.

 

I added a little chalk and freckles to their cheeks.

I have also added just a bit of Stickles

around the edge of  their bonnets in

Cotton Candy and Baby Blue.

I used my 3 Girl Jam Bow maker to tie

some double bows using My Craft Spot

crinkle ribbon in Petal Pink and Sky Blue.

The tags are from the Tiny Tags Stamps and Dies

from My Craft Spot.

 

I now have 2 cards ready for the next baby shower!!

Everyone have a great weekend!!



 

Bunny Tag

Happy Thursday!!

The weekend is almost here

and we are having such beautiful

weather in So. California!!

It is sunny and 80 degrees!!

I made a fun little tag for a few challenges.

I cut this tag from the

My Creative Time Tag Dies

The pink piece was another one of my extra cuts.

I beleive it is from Elegant Edges.

I embossed the pink piece with a Sizzix Flowers

and Vines folder. The Bunny is another extra cut.

When I made my Got Eggs?? card, I had

cut the bunny from Birthday Bash in 3" and 2.5"

I used the 3" on the card so I had this

extra one and used it on this tag.

Her cute little face is from Peachy Keens

Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed stamp set.

I added a flower that was wrapped

around a package of ribbon

I got from Little Scrap Pieces.

I added some white stiching and pink chalk.

The sentiment is from

My Creative Time - To My Best Peep

stamp set and the tag is the Stiched Oval Die.

I added 2 buttons from the Stiched Button Dies

and I covered them with glossy accents.

I added some crinkle ribbon from

My Craft Spot & Prairie Bird Boutique

For Someone Beary Special

Hello All My Crafty Friends!! 

It has been almost a month since my last post.

I finished my term on the

My Cricut Craft Room Design Team
and I decided to take a little break.

December and January are very
busy for me at work. 

I've missed you all and it feels good
to be in my craft room again!!

I have a cute little gift bag to share with you today.

I made this cute little gift bag for my daughter in law’s birthday present.  I started with a kraft gift bag.  All the paper I used is from a My Mind’s Eye 6x6 Paper Pad called Miss Caroline.  The first layer was embossed with a Sizzix folder called Cottage Style.  I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye and Mustard Seed.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Dye, inked with Mustard Seed and Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Labels 10, inked with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.  And the cute little bear in her jammies is from the Peachy Keen January Stamp  of the month.  Her face is from the same stamp set.  Isn’t she just the cutest!!

Here is a close up of her cute little face.  I added some pink chalk to her cheeks as well as some freckles.  I also added glossy accents.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped onto another cut
from Spellbinders Labels 10.   I added a cute little button from
3 Girl Jam and some twine.  I also added some decorative trim from
Webster’s Pages to the top of the bag, a little bling from Recollections

 and I tied a bow with some crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam.

I will be entering this into this week's Peachy Keen

December 100 Cartridge Blog Hop

Hello all my crafty friends!

Can you believe it is December already??

Christmas is just 24 days away, do you have

your shopping and crafting done yet??

I still have some shopping to do, but since I have

been making & posting christmas cards since October,

I have a slew of cards done!!

Well enough rambling, today is the day

for the 100 Cartridge Blog Hop with

My Cricut Craft Room.

You have have arrived from my dear

friend Shelley, if not please start at the

beginning so you don't miss anything!!

Due to some unfortunate circumstances

our team has shrunk in half within

the last month!!  So this time

our hop will only be one day.

Grab a snack and a beverage of choice

and join us for some great Cricut inspiration!!

This month I made 3 projects using

4 cartridges.  I used

Christmas Solutions, Simply Charmed,

Gypsy Wanderings and Teddy Bears on Parade.

Here is my first project using

Simply Charmed and Gypsy Wanderings.

The striped frame was cut at 5.25" H from

Gypsy Wanderings.  The candy was cut at 3"

from Simply Charmed.

I used Coordinations Cardstock and

the striped paper is DCWV.

I embossed the white cardstock

with a folder called

Peppermint Twists from Sizzix.

I also spritzed it with some glimmer mist.

This cute little tag is from My Craft Spot's

"Tiny Tags" dies and the sentiment

is from her "Mistletoe" stamp set.

I stamped it with Versamark and

embossed with Zing Embossing Powder.

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:

This next card was made using Teddy Bears on Parade.

My inspiration for this card was

from a card that GiGi

from The Cricut Bug

made for the November Release

for My Craft Spot.

All paper was from the Echo Park

Very Merry Christmas Pack.

Teddy and all his layers were cut at 4"

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

The label he is mounted on was

cut from Gypsy Wanderings at 4.75"

He is also mounted on an Action Wobble!!

I stamped his face with

Peachy Keens "Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed"

stamp set.  I added some white with my gelly roll pen

and added some glossy accents.

I added a cute little pom pom made from twine

to the top of his hat.
I am entering this card

My last project is a tag I made

using Christmas Solutions.

I had just won this great stamp

set "mistletoe" from My Craft Spot

November Release and knew I

wanted to make a tag with some Mistletoe!!

I cut the tag from kraft cardstock using

My Creative Time's Tag Dies.

I embossed the tag using a Mistletoe

Cuttlebug folder.  I then added

some pattern paper and decorative

trim from Webster's Pages.

The Mistletoe was cut from

Christmas Solutions at 2.07" H.

I added some pearls as the berries.

I hand cut the tag with the

sentiment on it and

added some crinkle ribbon and lace.

Card Creating Tuesday - Star Cards

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!

Today is Card Creating Tuesday with

 My Cricut Craft Room.

We were asked to make

STAR cards today.

My daughter-in-law's name is Star

so this was the perfect theme for me!!

I think I will save this card and give

it to her for her birthday in January.

I used Wall Decor and More for my card today

The Star image and the layer was cut

at 3.68" w x 2.94" h



I used Coordinations cardstock

and some glitter paper.

I used Spellbinders Label Four

and embossed it using

a Sizzix folder from

the Peppermint Twists

and Scallops Set.

The sentiment was cut at

2.37'w x 1.00' h

I added some designer trim from Webster's Pages

and some bling from Recollections.

Thanks for stopping by and

please be sure to check out more

proejcts from my DT Sisters over

at My Cricut Craft Room

Letter of the Day - Letter S

 

Today is Monday, and on Mondays

at My Cricut Craft Room

we do The Letter of the Day,

and today's letter is "S".

We can use a cartridge

that starts with the letter

or an image that starts with the letter.

 

I chose to use a "S"leigh, from

Paper Doll Dress Up.

 

 

You can find this particular

sleigh on page 74 of the handbook.

I cut it twice at 5" wide.

I cut it once in silver

and again in red.

 

I cut the rails off of the red layer.

I then embossed it using a Sizzix folder.

I spritzed it with some Diamond Glimmer Mist.

Then I glued it on top of the silver layer.

I added some Platinum Stickles.

The presents were cut with

my Creative Memories square punch.

 

All paper is DCWV.

Still not sure I really like this card,

I think I used too many patterns,

it looks a little too busy.

Oh well, someone on my christmas

card list will still be getting it...LOL.

 

Make sure you stop over at

My Cricut Craft Room

to see more projects today.

 



Theme Day Thursday - Wedding

Today is

If you have not guessed, today's theme is WEDDING!!

My inspiration for this card was a card I saw at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  I love the way the card had gems to simulate the champagne bubbles.  When I saw it, I knew I wanted to do the same thing!!

For this card I used Art Philosophy, Sweethearts and 3 Birds on Parade.

 The card base and label were cut from Art Philosophy at 5"

The champagne glasses were cut from Sweethearts at 2.70" H

It is hard to tell in the photos, but I used clear plastic

packaging to cut the base layer of the glasses.

I used the deep cut plate to cut the plastic and the glitter paper.

The sentiment was cut from 3 Birds on Parade at .55" H

I used Coordinations, DCWV and glitter cardstock.

I added the gem bubbles and some glitter tulle.

I also used 2 different embossing folders,

one is Sizzix and the other is Cuttlebug.

Please stop by My Cricut Craft Room

to see what my design team sisters have made today.

I have entered this card in the Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky
